Problem: Find the inverse for the function 𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) = 3 𝑥 + 1 2 𝑥 − 4 . Suppose a student writes the following solution. Is it correct? Line 1: Write 𝑦 = 3 𝑥 + 1 2 𝑥 − 4 and solve for 𝑥 . Line 2: 𝑦 ( 2 𝑥 − 4 ) = 3 𝑥 + 1 Line 3: 2 𝑥 𝑦 − 4 𝑦 = 3 𝑥 + 1 Line 4: 2 𝑥 𝑦 − 3 𝑥 = 1 + 4 𝑦 Line 5: 𝑥 ( 2 𝑦 − 3 ) = 1 + 4 𝑦 Line 6: 𝑥 = 1 + 4 𝑦 2 𝑦 − 3 Line 7: Now interchange variables: 𝑦 = 1 + 4 𝑥 2 𝑥 − 3 Line 8: Therefore 𝑓 − 1 ( 𝑥 ) = 1 + 4 𝑥 2 𝑥 − 3 Line 9: Simplify: 𝑓 − 1 ( 𝑥 ) = 𝑥 + 4 2 − 3 𝑥 a) Is the above solution correct? If not, in which line is the first error? (If there is more than one error, select the line where the FIRST error occurs.) [ Select ] First error is in Line 2. First error is in Line 9. The solution is correct. First error is in Line 1. First error is in Line 7. First error is in Line 4. First error is in Line 6. First error is in Line 3. First error is in Line 5. First error is in Line 8. b) What is the correct final answer to the problem? [ Select ] y = (x+1) / (2-3x) y = (1+4x) / (1-6x) y = (x+4) / (2-3x) None of the other options y = (1+4x) / (2x-3) c) What is the domain of 𝑓 − 1 ( 𝑥 ) ?
